1,000 Scoville Units A charming, round pepper packed with flavour! Capperino produces cherry-sized red fruit with thick walls and a crisp, satisfying bite. The gentle tangy heat makes them perfect for stuffing, pickling, snacking, or adding bright pops of colour and flavour to salads and platters. Compact 18-24 in. plants are productive and easy to grow, making Capperino an excellent choice for containers, raised beds, or small gardens. A fun, versatile pepper that brings mild heat, crunch, and beautiful colour to your harvest. Planting Instructions Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting out to the garden. Cover seeds with 1/4 in. of soil. Firm soil over seed. Keep moist but not waterlogged. To germinate maintain a soil temperature of 22°C. Seed should germinate in 10-14 days. Once seeds have sprouted, 14-16 hours of light per day is essential. Once plants have reached 5 in. transplant to 3 in. peat pots. Plants will develop better with a growing temperature of 17°C until transplanting out. Pro Tip: Fertilize weekly with Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer for strong root development. Do not transplant out till night temperatures are warm.
